In this cozy Q&A repot with me, I’m catching up with you while I work through a handful of very chatty (but fairly simple) repots—because if I’m answering questions and talking, I cannot also be building moss poles and doing the most. I start by showing you the lineup: my Hoya Lima Silver (stunning, easygoing, and absolutely covered in peduncles but still refusing to flower), a struggling Hoya clemensiorum that I think needs better drainage, my dream Hoya pubicalyx silver/pink silver situation, a blue pap x Fort Sherman anthurium hybrid that’s finally ready to leave sphagnum, plus some nostalgic Hoya curtisii cuttings I really want to grow out for the flowers. While I’m repotting—yes, including a slightly brutal moment where roots are growing through the self-watering wick—I answer your questions about getting recognized in public (rare, but always surreal and special), feeling guilty about having “too many” plants, and how I think downsizing is honestly the best fix when your collection starts stressing you out. I also talk about my relationship with being a YouTuber: the dream-job side of it, but also the time-management, work-life-balance, and financial ups-and-downs that come with living at the mercy of an algorithm. And of course, we get into a few real-life things like my partner’s favorite plants and the board/card games we actually play (Cascadia forever).
